Theatre

Theatre is one of those visual expressions that bring above a reflection of what lies within.

Simply transforming and soul intervening is the art of theatre. And bringing the same wisdom with a layer of an upgrade to you is the Theatre ensemble of Kala Ghoda 2020. Come here to experience expertise and creativity in scriptwriting, acting, expressions and other theatrics that would make your heart melt. 

 

Literature

People say that there's nothing more tranquil than a set of well-chosen words, at the right time and with the best of intents.
